swimming

I swam laps in my aunt’s pool, mowed the lawn, and planted my flowers. That was my exercise for Sunday! It was a hot day.

Monday, June 18

I had an appointment with the doctor about my rash. It turns out that it’s shingles. Fortunately, it’s a mild case and doesn’t really interfere with running. In fact, I tend to forget about it while running!

We also had a 10 to 15 minute thunderstorm that was so violent we lost power for 12 hours. When the power finally came back on at 4.30 a.m., it was 80°F upstairs.

Tuesday, June 19

I went out around 6.20 p.m. It was sunny and 79°F, with a humidity of 39 percent, a dew point of 52°F, and winds NNE at 10 mph.

I walked for 2 minutes,
ran for 12 minutes, walked for 1 minute,
ran for 12 minutes, walked for 1 minute,
ran for 14 minutes,
then walked home for a total of 43 minutes.

Today it is not raining! LOL Seriously, my “rain” running shoes are still wet. And, regarding my aunt’s pool: about a month ago I needed to put the hose in to fill it up, because the water level was so low. Now it’s at a record high! And, I did swim yesterday.

Today I ran around 2.50 p.m. It was mostly sunny and 69°F, with a humidity of 62 percent, a dew point of 55°F, and a heat index of 69°F. A side note: I am not ready for the cooler weather to be here!

I walked for 2 minutes,
ran for 38 minutes,
then walked back for a total of 42 minutes.

Yesterday it looked like it was going to thunder (both visually and by radar), so I didn’t run, but I did swim laps in my aunt’s pool. Unfortunately, it didn’t rain! But the heat index was high, so maybe that was okay.

Today I went out around 2 p.m. It is overcast and 75°F, with a humidity of 86 percent, a dew point of 71°F, and a heat index of 75°F.

I walked for 2 minutes,
ran for 38 minutes,
then walked back for a total of 42 minutes.

So I finally got rid of my migraine (yeehaw!) and I went running today around 11.45am. It is sunny and 70 degrees F with a slight breeze.

I walked for 6 minutes;
ran for 4 minutes; walked for 1 minute;
ran for 4 minutes; walked for 1 minute;
ran for 4 minutes; walked for 1 minute;
ran for 4 minutes;
then walked home for a total of 30 minutes.

Run time: 16 minutes

Walk time: 14 minutes

My aunt’s pool opened this week, and the pool is pristine, so now I’m off for a dip, no matter how cold it is! Hehe!
